01The challenge
Dr. Abdul Basit, an orthopedic surgeon, wanted to establish a strong digital presence, build professional credibility, and attract potential patients through organic social media growth.
When we started working together, his social media accounts had almost no established audience.
The goal was to build a recognisable medical personal brand by transforming his expertise into engaging, educational and accessible digital content.

I developed and implemented a comprehensive medical podcast-driven content strategy across his social media platforms, converting long-form medical discussions into content that educates audiences, builds trust and expands organic reach.
